Description:
Picked up this typewriter in Northern Arizona in 2009. It has a great typing feel, very solid, but is in need of a deep clean to free up several keys that are sticking. Has ribbon reverse switch, line spacing selector, and flat glass-top keys. 10 CPI Pica typeface. There's some rust on the frame below the spacebar and two rubber feet have crumbled, but otherwise in good condition. Obviously was kept in the case for much of its life.

Writer in the PNW with three typewriters. I started collecting in 2009 and now have a 1939 Underwood Ace, a 1947 Smith-Corona Sterling, and a 1981 Brother Charger 11. Talks about writing and such on my website at www.jweberle.com.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Underwood Ace on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Underwood Serial Number page and the Underwood Ace By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
